I got a new tranny and I noticed that wen I got my car back the center console on the right side would get warm as would the shift boot. Maybe i just never noticed before but i don't think it did that before. The right side of the console is noticeably warmer then the left side of the console, is this normaly or something else.

 

Normal.

 

the Exhaust is right under the centre console

Exactly, the gearbox is located in front of the passenger footwell. Unless of course, the car is an S2000?

 

yea but i never noticed this before so u guys have always had this? they didn't somehow take a heat plate off or something?

 

Check the rubber boot that seals the shifter. If it came loose, which can happen very easily, all the heat will come in from there. It is normal for it to be a little warm, but if it feels unusually warm, then I'd check that boot. Also, the rubber boot that seals the parking cables.

 

could that have come loose under regular shifting conditions? can that be checked from inside the cabin or have to get the car up to see?

 

so can i see if the seal is bad within the cabin or do I have to jack the car up? The center console is definately warmer then it was before.

 

Check to see if you still have a head shield on your cat.

Heat shield?

For the life of me, I don't know why people don't spellcheck their posts Before.


At any rate depending on the outside temps it can still be hot regardless of the heatshield being there or not.

You may be able to access this boot by removing the center console assembly.

It is a rubber boot that is stretched to fit so the possibility of it coming off isn't impossible.

No heat shield makes a huge difference.

It might be possible that they neglected to put it back on after the work on the tranny.

No heat shield made absolutely no difference on mine. Maybe I'm a minority but the center console got hot when it had all the shields in place and it gets just has hot now. Oh well.

you need to take your own advice . Although I admit spell check won't catch that

 

I bet you it's only warm there when the front windows are open. Even open a little bit, it will be warm. Close all windows, and see if it's NOT warm. I bet it won't be...

 

I don't have an R, but down by the E-brake slit, I notice heat coming from there alot. Seems normal though.

whys that.. the heat tends to run through the center console and out the window?

Anton: While I agree with you normally I must admit.

For the life of me, I don't know why spellcheck would have flagged the word "head" as it is a valid word in the english language.

I don't know why, but I've experimented this over and over again. Close the all windows, and the console will not be warm.

 

I had the same problem with my 00 ITR... I did a search and found the answer.

 

When ever I drive my car hard the shift boot area tends to increase in temperature. So this could be related. Have you been driving the car hard?

 

well i took apart the console and it seemed like the rubber boot was a off sorta.. it's not supposed to make a "glued" seal right just flex it back withing the circle?
